Market is free if miners choose transactions based on something other than money. They can choose to prioritize or de-prioritize ordinals, or their own transactions if they want to. Or only transactions that contain "69" and "420". It doesn't really matter, right?

Exactly. What exactly are people asking for… the Bitcoin Police?
Ordinals to Bitcoiners is feeling a lot like guns to the normies. “But there are bad people doing bad things with them.”
Well unless you are willing to go full Unabomber and attempt to remove the idea of Ordinals from global human consciousness… then it is a waste of time.
Adapting to the environment is usually time better spent than trying to change the environment.
Ordinals let us share a message with the future. I like that we could use Ordinals to share a message with the future. Imagine if there was an Ordinal made by Thomas Jefferson, but on the blockchain when the country was being formed. It was a letter about how people felt under rule of the king. Maybe it was about everyday life or the sacrifices people made for freedom. It could be his thoughts on what is important for people to get along. Anyway…
Something like that would take away a lot of power from bad actors in government who speculate what the intentions of these writings really were. Just imagine George Washington made an ordinal that is basically a memo stating in more casual terms exactly what “arms” he expected the average citizen to have access too. I imagine he would use words like “equal” or “greater than” when describing how much the people should have relative to the government.
Bitcoin is neutral. The people of Bitcoin should try to be that also. It is going to really embarrassing for them when they accept payment in the future that includes sats with associated buttplug ordinals, after all the shit they talked. All they have to do is continue treating Bitcoin like money. Vote with your own behavior. No preaching, just voting.
